The Fiancee Who Betrayed Me Is Obsessed With Me

20 – Reunion

The first day after officially becoming a member of the Guard Knight went by normally.

Since the escort target has not been decided yet, basic training for now.

Most of the information was about the life and daily routine of an escort driver.

And it seemed like mental education was scheduled for the afternoon.

Although he was an escort knight, he never neglected training.

Usually, escort duties were performed by several people in shifts, and they received the same training and education the rest of the time.

If you look at the absolute amount, the rest time was not much different from that of other drivers, but since most of it was used for acupuncture, the time for personal maintenance could actually be considered small.

Of course, those things weren’t important to me. I didn’t become a knight for wealth.

First of all, my goal now is to become Yuna’s escort knight.

I don’t know when I will be officially assigned, but I was able to endure this period.

Because I’ve been waiting for this moment for almost 10 years.

-4The princess enters. Everyone, pay attention!

“… !”

A sound suddenly heard during training. The 4th princess was definitely Yuna.

It was a meeting I had longed for, but I was also mentally unprepared.

I heard that one of her escort driver positions is currently vacant. Could it be that she came to choose it herself?

It was not common for the royal family to personally come and select an escort, but otherwise, there was no need to come.

“The Fourth Princess will personally select the escort knight. It is a great honor to be appointed directly by the royal family, so the chosen knight can be proud. “Then, princess.”

And that ridiculous prediction came true beautifully.

A person who appeared to be a member of the Knights’ Order appeared first and explained the situation, followed by the Four Princesses. No, Yuna slowly began to reveal herself.

‘Yuuna… ‘

Yuna. It was her. She was certain.

As 10 years have passed, both she and I have grown up to the point where we can now call ourselves adults, but I was able to recognize her clearly.

Transparent brown hair unique to the Helia royal family. But strangely, her hair felt white because the color had faded.

Her plump cheeks had now become skinny, and combined with her pale white face, it gave her a creepy feeling.

It was definitely Yuna. It was clearly Yuna, but she was very different from what she looked like 10 years ago.

Stand tall-

As I was looking at her blankly looking around at the knights, she suddenly stopped.

Right in front of me. Naturally, I ended up looking down at her, and she also looked up at me with cold eyes.

“… “Hoo.”

Yuna turned completely to me and looked at me closely, as if she was intrigued.

First, I had to turn my gaze away from her and look straight ahead, but that didn’t work.

I met her again after 10 years. And it looks so different.

My happy childhood memories with her and her betrayal that took everything away from me.

And instead of the cute and kind Yuna I remember, the current Yuna has become more of a traitor and a villainess.

It was a whirlwind of emotions that couldn’t be defined.

It was clear that my pupils were shaking anxiously as I looked at her now.

It was different from what I expected, that my anger would boil over if I met her again.

The pain was greater than the anger. Maybe I was finally able to accept the fact that she had betrayed me.

Seeing her in this complete evil form.

It was only after I confirmed the rumors of her mercilessly killing people and her evil nature.

Are memories more deeply embedded in my heart than I thought?

I was even more angry at the fact that I couldn’t fully feel anger toward her when I met her again.

“name.”

She asked my name. Fortunately, he didn’t seem to recognize me at all.

I almost said Ben without thinking, but he rolled his eyes a couple of times and said an alias.

“… Beryl. no see.”

“Last name?”

“doesn’t exist. “Because he is from Goa.”

Her eyes were truly empty, but there was also a faint hint of interest.

It meant that she was interested in me now.

It was meant well. Because I had to somehow get her mind to achieve my goal.

The more she gives her heart to me, the more despair she will have.

“I, I want to sacrifice my whole body to protect the princess. please… !”

The moment she opened her mouth to say something, Lia next to her suddenly shouted.

It seemed like he did it because he was worried about me. Because the rumors about Yuuna were that bad.

“no. I’m going to use this person. “Please put them in immediately, starting tomorrow.”

I thought I should appeal to her, but fortunately she chose me right away.

On the outside he didn’t move a thing, but on the inside he sighed in relief.

If Lia had really become Yuna’s bodyguard, it would have been a big deal.

After deciding on a guard in an instant, Yuuna leisurely left the knights.

The other drivers looked at me as if they were both relieved and pitiful.

It didn’t matter what they thought of me. Rather, I was happy.

“Beryl… ! why… !”

“… are you okay. “You said it was what I wanted, right?”

Oh, if there was one more person who had a different reaction, it was Lia.

It seemed like he thought about me as much as we had gotten closer.

Of course, I never thought that he would step forward to escort Yuuna instead.

“Rather than that, what are you doing? “You’re stepping forward to protect the rumored four princesses.”

“Well, I… ! Because I’m less likely to face threats to my life than you… This means that a guard knight who was a commoner will be killed without any hesitation… !”

Well, even Yuna wouldn’t be able to kill the knight commander’s daughter easily.

I don’t know how evil Yuna is, but if she does, the repercussions will be no joke.

“are you okay. Because that won’t happen. I’ll promise.”

“Beryl… !”

I smiled faintly and reassured her.

What was more fortunate was that Yuna really didn’t recognize me at all.

Maybe it was because the last time I saw her was 10 years ago and things have changed a lot, or maybe she just thought I was dead.

I wondered if he had discovered my identity and had deliberately chosen me, but he didn’t seem to have done so.

Her eyes looking at me were so empty that nothing showed except a little interest.

The fact that Yuna could have eyes like that was even more surprising.

‘No, now let’s forget about the old Yuuna.’

Because I had inadvertently compared the Yuuna of the past to the Yuuna of the present, I shook my head a couple of times to get rid of the thought.

That Yuna, the ‘real Yuna’ I didn’t know was completely different from the past her.

She had cute soft cheeks, blushed just by looking at a man’s upper body, liked small and cute things like squirrels, and loved everything she did.

The look in her eyes when she looks at people is cold and pale, reminiscent of a witch, and she carelessly tramples small animals to death and kills people without mercy.

Now I had to think of the latter as Yuuna. The lovely image of her from the past had to be thrown away.

And it was the truth.

I couldn’t think about her forever, lost in glorified memories.

‘… Actually, I haven’t been able to let go of my regrets yet.’

I thought I had completely let go of my feelings for her over the past 10 years.

I can’t believe my thoughts were shaken just by seeing her again for a brief moment like this. It was clear that emotions do not work as expected.

But it didn’t matter.

Reality had already told me the true identity of Yuna, and if I continued to face reality, my feelings about her would change in an instant.

Just for now, I just put aside the emotions of the past that are rising up like this.

That was enough.

Anyway, the place will always be filled with feelings of hatred. There was no need for deep thinking.

***

“… newcomer. “What did you say your name was?”

“It’s Beryl.”

The day after being chosen by Yuna. No, a few hours later to be exact.

I got back to work sooner than expected.

“okay. Beryl. I’m short on time, so I’ll just explain a few things now. “You can listen to the rest tomorrow.”

“Yes, I understand.”

Yuna’s first duty as an escort was to be on so-called watchful duty.

Instead of guarding the front of the dormitory like during my apprenticeship, my job was to guard the princess’s room from midnight to 6 a.m.

To achieve this, I went to a short sleep right after dinner and woke up before midnight to go to my shift.

“First of all, as long as there are no unexpected situations at night, there won’t be much to worry about. There are only a few things you need to be careful about. The first is that you must not enter the princess’s room no matter what noise you hear.”

Usually, two people work the night shift, but this time my partner was Gion, who was a few years older than me.

Just by holding on as Yuna’s guard, you could tell that he was a person with great patience.

In fact, his personality seemed very gentle.

“If the princess is in danger, shouldn’t we go in and save her?”

“Of course it is. However, if the princess is truly in danger, the security magic in her room will activate, or the princess herself will ring the bell. You only have to move then. Otherwise, don’t move at all.”

It was obviously forbidden to enter the princess’s room at will, but guard knights were allowed to enter the royal family’s room at will in emergency situations.

Especially at night, when the royal family is sleeping, the escort driver’s judgment of the situation is even more important.

But you should never open the door on your own.

This was a part I didn’t quite understand.

“… In another case before, there was a knight who opened the door and got his head cut off. Of course, you have to go in when it’s a dangerous situation. Well, you will find out about this when you go to work.”

“… yes.”

As I walked along while listening to a few other explanations, I eventually arrived in front of Yuna’s room.

The two escorts guarding the front of her room looked very tired, and as soon as they saw us, their faces began to turn slightly pale.

“Good job.”

“There is nothing special. “Have a hard time.”

As soon as they changed shifts, the two left the place as if running away.

What kind of escort did he have to do to look so distressed?

To be honest, I still couldn’t imagine Yuna killing people so easily, like killing ants.

“… “

“… “

Gion and I were standing in front of the door without saying a word.

The guards guarding other royal rooms nearby seemed to be conversing in low voices, but we were not.

One of the precautions given to Gion was that there should never be unnecessary chatter during night shifts.

Yuuna is a sensitive sleeper, so if the sound of words wakes her up, the knight will be immediately executed.

The only way for escort drivers to survive this long night is to kill time by talking to their partners, but even that is impossible.

From this alone, it was predictable how much Yuna’s bodyguards were suffering.

Of course, I too was at a loss for having to spend six hours with my eyes open without saying or doing anything.

In fact, that was the role of the escort driver.

Has an hour passed like that? No, maybe not even 10 minutes had passed.

-… Ugh, ugh… !

“… !”

“… “Stay still.”

A faint moaning sound began to be heard from inside the room.

From noble mtl dot com

“Seniors… ?”

“I told you earlier. “Stay still.”

-Hmm… !

It was clearly Yuna’s voice.

I don’t know the cause, but she was writhing in pain and moaning, and was staring straight ahead with a bored expression on her face, as if the temperature was not a big deal.

I followed him quietly for the time being, but as the sound continued to get louder, I glanced at the door.

“… It happens all the time. “Get used to it.”

-Khhhhh!

Something that always happens? So does that mean that I writhe in pain like that every night?

So does this mean that Yuna should continue to be escorted without even knowing why she is in such pain?

Are you saying that she is an evil woman who thinks less of human life than an ant, so we shouldn’t approach her carelessly?

“… newcomer?”

I don’t even know why. I wouldn’t have been particularly worried about her.

Maybe it was pure curiosity. What on earth is going on inside that makes me scream in pain like that?

Yuna, whom I loved. And Yuuna, whom I loathe.

It may have been because I was curious about what on earth made her like that.

Suddenly-

“… newcomer!”

Just one day after meeting her again, I ended up opening a box that I shouldn’t have opened.
